Makes 8 servings

1. Rinse quinoa well in cold water to remove sticky outer coating. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with water and salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, until just cooked (about 10 minutes). Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

2. While quinoa is cooking, combine turnips, carrots, rutabaga, and squash in a large pot with a vegetable steamer. Steam vegetables for 7 to 10 minutes, or until tender. 3. In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in sage leaves and cook just until sage is lightly browned and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

4. Add quinoa and vegetables to skillet and toss well to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste, heat through if necessary, and serve hot.
